It doesnt matter if we wake her up at 7, 6, or 5am, she will not go to bed until midnight or upto 5 hours later! She does not take naps, she isnt hyper active, we lay with her, read her stories, and play what she wants. This has been going on for a year now, I've tried a strict regiment, which leads to her throwing fits and cryin till 2am, tried being compassionate which leads to the same. (I have had severe insomnia since i was 7 or 8, now 27) We have changed her diet, tv/cartoon allowance, and several bedtime proceedures. My wife and are close to our wits end, short of beating her or tying her to the bed we have run out of options!! She is really quite smart for her age( i know every parent thinks so) but for the first 3 years of her life she had no interaction with anyone other than adults and has quite the vocabulary and social skills and attitude of that, and i dont know if that is the cause or if it is because of my chronic insomnia. Any ideas or experience would be help
